-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The purpose of our practise of Buddhism
is so that we can overcome that impulse to give up
or to give in to cowardice.
With solid resolute Daimoku as our base
let's break through the walls of obstacles
that may be in our way,
and emerge victorious!

(On Establishing the Correct Teaching
for the Peace of the Land
- WND, Vol. 1, page 23)
